[1000mp] FT1000MP, side tone on cw

[Graeme Jackson]

Hi everyone,
A few months ago I purchased a second hand ft1000mpdc, I seem to be =
dogged by what I thought were RFI problems.
When on cw the side tone, ether spot tone or monitor tone was being =
clipped on the first transmission character.  At first I thought it was =
rf getting into the rig, but after some expermentation on antenna and =
dummy load It seemed as though the problem was present on both whenever =
the power was higher than 50 watts.
I noticed that when VCC was selected on bar graph meter the indicated =
voltage would drop 2 digits ( ie from 14volts down to 12volts ) when on =
full 100watts cw output.
I thought this maybe the problem,  anyway to cut a long story short I =
checked the inline fuses and waggled the dc power plug on the rear of =
the rig and tried again, ----- My problem had dissapered.
The bar graph on VCC still drops alot when on full power, my psu is also =
stablised------I wonder if other people have the same indications as me =
?
